Costume designer Christina Flannery joins us to talk about her work on The Righteous Gemstones season 3! She gives us all the deets about jumping off from the established blueprint created by season 1 & 2 costume designer Sarah Trost (who we had on the pod before!) and how she added in her own magic for this season. That magic, ahem, includes a watermelon jumpsuit, Smut Buster t-shirts, intricate Cape and Pistol uniforms, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it racetrack necklace on Judy, Hype Priest wizardry, dressing Uncle Baby Billy in the most GLORIOUS oyster-inspired performance ensemble, and even a JNCOS cameo, baby! If you're not watching The Righteous Gemstones this season, just WHAT are you doing with your life, babys?! Christina also talks about her work on the movies Fresh (you know we love that one!) and Cam, and the TV series The Chi. She also tell us about the time Sebastian Stan changed in her backyard, and the vintage shop she used to own, and then tells us where to cop the best discount Gucci. Get tho

We are absolutely thrilled to have the fabulous Bri Luna of The Hoodwitch on the podcast today to talk about one of her favorite movies, She-Devil! The 1989 flick stars Roseanne Barr as a jilted housewife who devises a long-con revenge on her cheating husband and the romance novelist who stole him (Meryl Streep in one of her most underrated roles). Costume designer Albert Wolsky takes the characters through a fantastical voyage of clothes, beginning with caricatures of extreme femininity and stereotypes of the forgotten housewife, then into a transformation that is both sartorial and spiritual. It’s a makeover like no other! Bri opens our eyes to the movie’s many unseen layers: looking at it through a magickal lens, and how the two main characters can be interpreted as Lilith and Eve. It’s so much more about revenge (one of our favorite genres); it also explores the dichotomy of womanhood, female repression and oppression, and the power of the underdog. You're going to want to eat an eclair in the bathtub whi

We’re shaking things up today with a surprise music video minisode! This time, we’re taking it back to 1996 with the one and only Baby Girl, Aaliyah. "If Your Girl Only Knew,” penned by Missy Elliott and Timbaland, was the first single off her sophomore album, One in a Million. Blaire breaks down this transformative era in Aaliyah’s career, and how this video was a true makeover moment for Aaliyah in more ways than one. On the fashion side, she began to come into her own sense of style, pairing her signature tomboy vibe with midriff tops and belly chains. Then, Marie talks about how stylist David De La Cruz fitted Aaliyah in a leather motorcycle mama look, and the crème de la crème accessory, the Vivienne Westwood armor ring, which is, of course, a serious obsession on this pod.

Big news! It’s our last episode as Fishnet Flix, so we’ll be taking a break for the month to gear up for our relaunch and new name. But before we go, we’re putting another late ‘90s teen thriller notch in our belts with Teaching Mrs. Tingle. First and foremost, in this episode we learn that Blaire is, in fact, a Teaching Mrs. Tingle scholar. Costume designer Susie DeSanto put Katie Holmes in goodie-two-shoes button up shirts and Helen Mirren in brilliantly tailored blazers and silk pajamas.  Marie peruses eBay and finds tons of screen worn costumes from some of our favorite flicks, and we also talk about Dame Helen Mirren’s penchant for stripper shoes, Aerosmith’s iconic Get a Grip music video era, and predicting characters’ zodiac signs.

“Sounds razor.” We’re continuing our theme of late ‘90s high school thrillers and diving into 1998’s Disturbing Behavior, which is about a group of teenage outcasts who uncover a mind control conspiracy at their high school. Blaire put her fake nose ring in for this episode to celebrate the film’s grunge style icon, Katie Holmes! Costumes by Trish Keating, who also costumed some of our faves, like Mother, May I Sleep With Danger, Bordello of Blood, and The Amy Fisher Story starring Drew Barrymore (PS. we did a Drewcember on it!). Listen to us discuss the various cliques of Cradle Bay High, and Katie Holmes's first foray into bad-girl territory, aka her role as “Cook’s Ridge trash!”, a departure from her Dawson’s Creek girl-next-door character.

"I'm not an alien. I'm discontent." We’re talking about one of our favorite ‘90s teen thrillers, The Faculty! In this Robert Rodriguez-directed and Kevin Williamson-written film, Aliens begin taking over a small town high school, Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style! The cast includes Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood, Clea Duvall, Usher, and more. Costumes are by Emmy award-winning costume designer Michael T. Boyd, but let's be real, The Faculty is a whole ass commercial for Tommy Hilfiger... We discuss Usher’s lawsuit against the fashion brand, Josh Hartnett’s iconic hair, the fake gothery of it all, and the entertaining trope of fake drug names in movies. Blaire talks abut how she’d handle being locked away and Marie works through her trauma about all the Tommy Hilfiger in the film. It’s a real journey up in here!

It’s She’s All That time! In this 1999 classic, cool guy on campus Zach (Freddie Prinze Jr.) makes a bet (with a young Paul Walker, RIP!) that he can turn any girl at school into a prom queen, even an artsy weirdo like Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook). Hilarity, synchronized dances, and romance ensues. This movie is a treasure trove of fun facts, a memorable cast, and stylish outfits, courtesy of Denise Wingate (Cruel Intentions, Daisy Jones & the Six). Join us as we break down Laney’s makeover looks, talk about that “Kill All Artists” tee, crafting pita hats, reminisce about shopping on Melrose in the 90s/2000s, debate over the real way to wear a Jansport backpack, and more.

Frost yourself! We’re discussing the quintessential rom-com, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. We talk about costume designer Karen Patch’s (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Bride Wars) fabulous work in the film, and how she put Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) in 2000s businesswear chic, an 84-carat yellow diamond necklace and, of course, that show-stopping yellow Carolina Herrera number. We also discuss getting horn for Pedro Pascal, leading man charisma, and the show Truth Be Told. Marie talks about getting triggered by both Andie’s service journalism and rewatching Girls, and Blaire gives How to Lose a Guy a rating of "4 out of 5 magical crabs."

Welcome back! We kick off season 6 with major news about the pod (OMG) and 2001’s Sugar & Spice, a movie about true sisterhood! The plot? When a high school cheerleader becomes pregnant, she and her cheer sisters get inspired by Point Break and plan a bank heist. Costume design is by one of our faves, Wendy Chuck (Confess, Fletch, Twilight, Hubie Halloween, Election) and features a seriously iconic bank robbery look, cute monochromatic outfits, and cheerleader uniforms, of course! We’re now ready for cheer-core to become a trend. We also discuss the comparison with Bring it On (and a big revelation about the two movies by Gabriella Union), Penn Badgley not wanting to do sex scenes anymore, and Blaire breaks down her fave MSCHF as we discuss dem big red boots...ps did anyone watch Hollywood Darlings?

Drewcember concludes with our final episode of the year...and it's a doozy! Come with us on a journey of complete chaos as we discuss the 1986 made-for-TV movie Babes in Toyland, which starred a tween Drew Barrymore  and a young Keanu Reeves. It's set in Toyland, a magical fairytale realm where Marie believes all TikTok fashion aesthetics are birthed from. Costumes designed by Evangeline Harrison.  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod and TikTok @fishnetflix !

Drewcember continues with The Stand-In, Drew Barrymore’s most recent film from 2020. Our queen plays a washed-up movie star who hires her old stand-in to go to rehab in her place. And yes, Drew plays both roles, Eddie Murphy-style! This movie may have been a victim of the pandemic and not seen by many when it first came out, but it’s a must-see for any Drewbie. Especially since we rarely get to see her play these type of “unlikeable” characters! As for costumes, there are a few glamorous standouts from costume designer Sarah Mae Burton (The King of Staten Island, The Big Sick) but it's really all about Miss Barrymore.   For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod and TikTok @fishnetflix !

For this week’s very special Drewcember episode, we have our friends and Drew Barrymore superfans, Ashley and Anne from How Do You Drew Podcast and the Drewseum joining us to discuss Home Fries. This 1998 dark “rom-com” stars Drew as a pregnant, Dolly Parton-obsessed Burger-Matic employee whose baby daddy is literally frightened to death by his two stepsons, one being played by Luke Wilson. Costumes are by Jill M. Ohanneson (who we talked about in our Bill and Ted episode and who did Revenge, Six Feet Under, and tons more). Jill put a curly-haired Drew in floral print dresses and cardigans for a sweet Southern girl look. While we’re sad an alleged Dollywood scene was cut out of this quirky movie, we have a blast talking about all things Drew! (Including her apparent “workplace crush” on Jim Carrey during the filming of Batman Forever.)

It’s our fifth annual Drewcember! Grab a plate of some bedside hot buttered corn and your best costume of the day because it’s time for Grey Gardens! Drew Barrymore stars as Little Edie Beale alongside Jessica Lange as Big Edie, the reclusive mother and daughter who lived in a decaying mansion for almost 50 years. Costume designer Catherine Marie Thomas (Kill Bill, Whip It, 27 Dresses) is behind the exquisite recreations of the 'fits Little Edie was known for. We have fun breaking down the looks of our favorite staunch character-slash-style icon while comparing to the OG Grey Gardens documentary from the 1970s, and then somehow go from talking about the Edith Beales to guessing the zodiac sign of Jigsaw from the Saw movies? Don’t ask…just tune in. Bye!

Now that we’re really getting into *Mariah* season, it’s time to make yourself a plate of Christmas Fettucine and put on The Holiday! Nancy Meyers’s iconic rom-com gets us in the mood to wear cable knit sweaters, shearling coats, and berets. Marlene Stewart (who styled early Madonna, and did costume design for everything from Coyote Ugly, to To Wong Foo, and The Lost City) is behind the cozy sophisticated costumes. She put Cameron Diaz in tons of designer winterwear that makes us LA gals wish we could spend time in the snow!
